The 1975–76 Iraqi National Clubs League (First Division) was the 2nd season of the competition since its foundation in 1974. Newly-promoted club Al-Zawraa won the league title and also won the Iraq FA Cup to complete the first national double in Iraqi football. Al-Zawraa's squad included many of the players that played for Al-Naqil in the 1974–75 season, a club that folded due to financial difficulties after finishing as league runners-up that campaign.[1][2]
